Review - :
{$The Bravery}'s self-titled debut is a slick twist on '80s {\new wave} and post-millennium modern {\rock}. Those who've followed {$the Killers}, {$stellastarr*}, and the like will surely pounce on {$the Bravery}'s luscious synth-driven {\pop}. The 11-song set, produced by the band's frontman, {$Sam Endicott}, is playful and confident, unlike the stressful production of {$the Killers}' {^Hot Fuss}. Sure, obvious influences ({$Duran Duran}, {$the Smiths}, {$the Cure}) carry the weight of this album, but it's without haste. An overcast backdrop dresses the trashy hints of love and desire, and cocksure moments such as {&"Public Service Announcement"} and {&"No Brakes"} showcase {$the Bravery}'s swagger with style. {$Endicott} goes from sounding like a {$Robert Smith} copycat ({&"Tyrant"}) to a dirtier {$Julian Casablancas} ({&"Out of Line"}) and maintains a focused, fashionable dance sound. {&"Unconditional"} soars with a sly guitar/keyboard two-step while {&"An Honest Mistake"} saunters like classic {$New Order} with its dark-hued mechanical energy. {^The Bravery} isn't sonically mind-blowing, but the new millennium {\new wave} revival remains intriguing. This New York five-piece makes an interesting effort without it coming off contrived and dishonest. Get ready to shake your hips! [This release of the album contains bonus material.] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
